This time last year my little Livvy was starting to make her way into the world. Now here she is, one year later and I can't even remember life without her. She has been such a joy in our lives. Her big brother Nathan just loves her to death...literally. I think he might kill her one of these days. He loves to hug her, kiss her, tackle her, push her down...you know, the usual big brother stuff. But he's always concerned about her and wants to know where she is and what she's doing. Maddie and Emma are such a big help with her and they love to play with her.
Livvy loves babies! She carries around the girls dolls and pushes the dolls in the stroller. She will make a great mommy someday. She still doesn't have any hair, but that will come. She's already walking and started that about December. When she first started I kind of freaked out. I said "you're to little to be walking." I just couldn't believe that my baby was growing up so fast and she's still so tiny to me. She does have her own little 'tude though that just cracks me up. Unfortunately for her she has a lot of her mother's temper in her! We call her "The Boss" because she walks around with her little fat tummy sticking out and her arms swinging just so and acts like she owns the place. She's very sensitive and loving and always gives her brother and sisters hugs and pats when they are upset and crying. She's a little teddy bear!
Olivia, all the trouble you gave me during the pregnancy and what seemed like the longest 9 months of my life was well worth it. I call you my "bonus" child because I was not expecting you to come at this time. And recent "revelation" shows me that our Father in Heaven in his infinite wisdom needed to sneak you down here in order to get you in this family. And I'm very glad he did! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
